TORONTO – On the morning of April 16, 2018, a chunk of ice fell from the CN Tower and punctured a hole about a metre wide by two metres long in the thin PVC sheeting that makes up the Rogers Centre roof. The impact was strong enough to trip alarms inside the stadium and attached hotel. Smaller shards had caused damage elsewhere on the lid, too, causing some flooding in the building.
Jose Berrios starts against Tanner Houck in the nightcap looking to extend the Blue Jays’ current run of five straight wins and eight in nine outings since returning north. At 59-49, they’re now just one loss back of the reeling 64-48 Red Sox in the loss column. This one was unique for several reasons, and not only because it’s the first of the four doubleheaders ever at Rogers Centre to be split on two separate tickets. The extra game is a makeup of a July 20 rainout in Buffalo, N.Y., and given the option of sneaking in another game onto their Toronto schedule, the Blue Jays immediately seized the opportunity.
“We have to be careful, right?” said Cora. “We’ve got to take care of our group. As for now, we’ll do our best to wear masks in the dugout and obviously inside.”Both Ray and Pivetta starters carried no-hitters into the fifth inning and the first real threat came from the Red Sox in the sixth, when Bobby Dalbec opened the inning with a walk and Jonathan Arauz, after failing to get a sacrifice bunt down, lined a single to left.
